American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 63: There is no such thing as a motherland. It is just a dream of a Kansas farmer.
Smallwell Salon Club.

Peter sat with the farmers and listened to the mayor tell the news about the wildfire.

After receiving Jonathan's call, he rushed to the scene.

"The governor has signed a state of emergency order to mobilize all forces to put out the fire and protect the lives and property of the people. Currently, more than 500 firefighters have been mobilized to put out the fire, and four large fixed-wing firefighting aircraft have sprayed chemical fire extinguishing agents on the fire area."

"but."

He suddenly changed the subject, "Weather is a key factor in the future. Kansas is shrouded in record high temperatures, and the wind direction changes greatly, which makes firefighting more difficult."

The mayor looked around at the crowd and said, "So - for everyone's safety, I suggest that everyone evacuate before noon tomorrow."

When the crowd heard the mayor asking everyone to evacuate, they immediately started to discuss in low voices.

Jonathan frowned as he listened to the mayor's speech.

The farm suffered a lot of losses from the previous livestock attacks. If the wildfire hits Smallville
"Don't worry, Jonathan."

Peter comforted Jonathan, who was worried, "The fire may not spread here."

Jonathan nodded. "Well, I hope things won't be that bad."

After Peter spoke a few words to the other party, he turned his eyes to the TV in the club.

The TV was showing images of the burning wildfire.

In an instant, Peter caught a glimpse of a figure flashing in the flames in the picture.

A person covered in flames appeared in the blazing fire and was able to move freely.

Staring at the TV screen, Peter was stunned for a moment, then looked thoughtful.

Meanwhile, Smallwell Elementary School.

In the principal's office, Martian Manhunter took off his hat and shook hands with Assistant Principal Henry Greer.

As assistant principal, Henry Greer's main job is to maintain school discipline.

When disciplining students, he always tried to create a lovable John Wayne image, but was not very successful.

(John Wayne: Film and television actor, famous for playing tough guys in westerns and war films)
"John Jones, I'm Peter Padrick's butler."

Martian Manhunter said that since Peter was not there, he went to the school as a parent to deal with Zu's affairs.

Henry was stunned for a moment when he looked at the black man with extraordinary temperament in front of him.

After coughing, he said to the Martian Manhunter, "Peter Padrick was once my student. I remember now."

He smiled apologetically as he sat behind his desk. "There are too many students. After four or five years, they all become the same. You'll call a boy his brother's name, and so on. There's nothing we can do about it."

"Indeed, Mr. Grayer."

Martian Manhunter nodded in agreement.

When the assistant principal was telling him about the conflict between A-Zu and Whitney, the door was roughly pushed open and Whitney's father walked in aggressively.

Harrison, who was wearing a custom-made Savile Row brown suit, greeted the assistant principal and then asked the Martian Hunter bluntly, "Are you John Padrick's parent?
Martian Manhunter said calmly, "I am his butler."

"Very well, I'm quite busy lately and I have to appear in court in fifty minutes, so let's get straight to the point."

Harrison, who is a lawyer by profession, said impatiently: "John violently hurt my son and insulted him. I demand that John publicly apologize to my son and that the school punish him."

Martian Hunter glanced at the astonished assistant principal and said calmly:
"It is my understanding, Mr. Harrison, that your son has had seventy-four detentions, twelve of which were for bullying unsociable students, and he skipped fifty-one of those detentions."

Martian Manhunter said something that shocked Harrison.

"He was once suspended from school for putting a firecracker in a girl's shoe. A little girl named Irma Swope almost lost two toes because of this little prank. The girl named Swope had a cleft lip." When he mentioned that the girl had a cleft lip, his tone was full of coldness. "Mr. Harrison, you obviously don't realize that the law in your eyes protects both your son and John. Once you apologize and compensate for physical and verbal abuse, then..."

"I believe the school will also demand compensation from Whitney for the same reason."

He turned his gaze to the assistant principal, "Mr. Greer, are you right?"

The assistant principal swallowed and looked at the Martian Manhunter in shock.

He didn't understand why the black man in front of him knew so much information.

Although his mind was in a mess, he reacted quickly.

After seeing that Martian Hunter had the upper hand, he immediately said to Harrison in a serious tone: "I think Mr. Jones is right."

"You guys!"

Harrison opened his mouth and looked at the Martian Manhunter, "You can't get away with such a despicable trick, you——!"

He tried to hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He hesitated for a moment, knowing that he could not gain any advantage over this black man, and finally walked out of the room in disappointment.

Zu soon learns that Martian Manhunter is in the office and has dealt a heavy blow to Whitney's father.

This changed his impression of the butler significantly.

The next day, when the whole family packed up and went to the metropolis to take shelter from the wildfire, he secretly thanked the Martian Hunter.

"Thank you, Mr. Jones."

"Your strength should not be used for this, John. I taught you to discover your potential, but not for you to do this."

As Martian Manhunter was packing his luggage, he said to him: "You should learn from Clark and use your abilities with caution."

A-Zu scratched his head and put on a harmless expression, "I didn't mean it, Mr. Jones."

As the two were talking, Peter came over and asked, "How is it? Have you packed your things?"

"All right."

A-Zu quickly glanced at the Martian Manhunter, signaling him to keep it a secret for him.

Looking at Zu's expression, Martian Manhunter was speechless.

You still want to keep it a secret, but your father already knew it.

Peter patted Azu's shoulder and said to him, "Check if there's anything you forgot to bring. We may be out for a while before we come back."

"dad."

A-Zu looked at everything in the room with melancholy, "Will we come back?"

Peter touched his head and said, "Of course we will come back. This is our home. We will live in Metropolis for a while. Don't you like big cities?"

"No, I'm just Dad. I just want to be a Kansas farmer on the farm and protect the farm and Dad."

"Uh-huh, didn't you say before that you wanted to be a superhero? John, don't you want to be one now?"

"No, superheroes aren't real, I think. Dad, it's just a dream that many people have."
